"Can artificial intelligence (AI) tell whether you’re happy, sad, angry or
frustrated?
According to technology companies that offer AI-enabled emotion recognition
software, the answer to this question is yes.
But this claim does not stack up against mounting scientific evidence.
What’s more, emotion recognition technology poses a range of legal and societal
risks – especially when deployed in the workplace.
For these reasons, the European Union’s
AI Act, which came into force in
August, bans AI systems used to infer emotions of a person in the workplace –
except for “medical” or “safety” reasons.
In Australia, however, there is not yet specific regulation of these systems.
As I argued in my submission to the Australian government in its most recent
round of consultations about high-risk AI systems, this urgently needs to
change."
